Etwinning project - • Pupils of the 5th grade (10 to 11 years old) primary schools from Tvrdošín and Kopřivnice were exchanging their knowledge about the space – planets and interesting space phenomena. They became the imaginary astronauts and were learning various mysteries about the space as well as getting to know each other. • The project diffused not only in the subjects of Science but continuously spread throughout the whole school term. The great experience was the overnight stay at school, when children observed the eclipse of the Moon.
